Father Anthony reflects on Jesus’ agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, revealing the depth of God’s love shown not only in miracles and triumphs, but also in trembling and tears. He shows how the Savior who healed the sick and walked on water now falls to His knees beneath the weight of our sin—choosing obedience over escape and love over fear. As Jesus prays “not my will but Yours be done,” we witness a battle no army could fight and no disciple could see: the victory of surrender.

Father Anthony uses the story of God promising Moses that he will deliver his people out of slavery and asks us to trust in God to do extraordinary things in our lives.

Father Anthony reflects on these passages from Matthew as our guide to not get caught up in the anxiety of day-to-day life, but to rely on the providence of God’s mercy.
